If they have done as it is reported then yes they should have been sacked. I fail to see how talking to the press about something that has obviously been to court and been in the public interest, doesn't seem grounds for saking someone.

They could always have left the jobs and went elsewhere, and surely the guard in question has to start his life somehow !!

Mind you if it had been my child he had interfered with - I think I may feel more strongly about it !

I would have thought the main question should be..... what the hell is a convicted criminal doing working for the MoD no matter what the charges.
I would have thought it would leave them open to outside pressure and as such a security risk.

That the others didn't want to work with him is understandable, and the only option open now is for all the guards to be convicted criminals so they can all get on with each other.

The world once again proves that only the bad are protected under the law.

I aggree with PP's point - what the hell are the MOD employing someone with his background - they new it would cause trouble.
I believe in the rehabilitation of offenders - but not for kiddie fidlers, i think it would only be a matter of time before he was upto it again - speaking as a father of a young girl - he should have his nuts cut off - i'm sorry if this offends but it needs to be said.

After 10 years working in a secure unit with sex offenders I know that trying to rehabilitate them is equal to me telling you all you can only bum each other, it goes against your nature. The sexual preferences we advance towards are set a long time before we actually have sex. Thus the gay at 7 argument.

This guard will never be rehabilitated.

What if it was a guy you worked with and each day he told you how much he liked what he did. How long before you hit him? What if it was a work mate telling you he'd said it to you, how long before you refused to work with him? What if you just knew about it, and had read the details in the local newspaper, could you look at him with anything other than disgust?

He molested an 8-year-old girl.

Somewhere tonight their is an 8 year old girl he touched and hurt and who will think about that and remember that and never know what it feels like to feel 100% safe ever again.

Many years ago we had a CAD engineer who got himself involved with a 14yr old boy and a South African trapeze artist (honest). The firm refused to sack him on the grounds that CAD engineers were as rare as rocking horse whatsits. The rest of the design engineering dept got together with their union rep and sent him in to the Personnel Manager to point out that CAD is not possible with broken arms and legs. The hint was taken.

The chaps that were sacked should not only consult solicitors (God how I hate to say that) but their MPs. No one should be forced to work with people who assault children.
